The market building spatially represents the completion of the longitudinal subdivision of the gardens between Glavni trg and Meškova ulica – a transition from the small scale of service buildings between the gardens towards higher buildings leaning against the city walls. The design maintains an open view of the main city landmark – the bell tower of the Church of St. Elizabeth. A lively public space is created all day long with a wide variety of public events and catering options.
The market, consisting of two low pavilions and a flat roof floating above them, seeks the right balance between the division of the city parterre and the uniformity of the roof surface. The roof has a dual character – above as a green roof and below as a guide for views.
The flexible facade of the sales pavilions opens to all sides and allows for a variety of usage scenarios.
As a wooden passive building, the market serves to preserve natural and biological diversity and to present and promote urban self-sufficiency.
